Elements of Art and Principles of Design in Photography

Elements of Art

Line are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.

I chose this photo because it has very clean lines.

I chose this painting because it shows it's strong lines and it's work with in the painting.

Shape are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. 

I chose this photo because its shapes with in shapes and it stands out well.

I chose this painting because of how the shape goes from the center out.

Color wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary (intermediate) colors.

I chose this photo because of the way the colors just stand out from each other.

I picked this painting because of how the colors just blend off each other.

Value (Tone), or tone, refers to dark and light; the value scale refers to black and white with all gradations of gray in between.  Value contrasts help us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art. 

I chose this picture because of the way it goes from dark center to light white pedals.

I picked this painting because of the way it balances the dark color and light white.

Form describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.

I chose this photo because of the way it pops off and the way the building stands out with the sky.

I chose this painting because of the way the people look feather back then columns.

Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly--the list is endless.

I chose this photo because you can really see the texture to the tree branch.

I chose this painting because you can really see the detail in the lady dress and in the background.

Space refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or  negative (black or dark), open or closed,shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional.

I chose this photo because you can see the space between the white and the black.

I chose this painting because of the color going from dark to more color going upward.

Principal of Design

Balance is the comfortable or pleasing arrangement of things in art.  There are three different types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial.

I chose this photo because of the way the balance of the tree branches over balance them self.

I picked this because of the way the tress are far but balance each other for a distance.

Contrast is created by using elements that conflict with one another. 

I chose photo because it shows the colors that go off each other.

I picked this painting because of how the multiple colors combined to make one painting.

Emphasis in the focal area of an artwork gives it importance.  An artist may stress some elements of the design over others. The eye of the viewer will focus on the area of emphasis or center of interest first, then take in the rest of the composition. 

I chose this photo because of how the color of the flowers pop out.

I chose this painting because how the one red heart really stands out on its own.

Movement in an artwork means the artist is taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of lines, edges, shapes, and colors often leading to the focal area. Movement is a visual flow through the composition. It can be the suggestion of motion in a design as you move from object to object by way of placement and position.  

I chose this photo because it show the movement is dry and calm.

I chose this picture because of how the painting is very chill and calm.

Pattern are made in art when the same shapes or elements are repeated again and again.  Pattern uses the elements of art in planned or random repetitions to enhance surfaces of paintings or sculptures. 

I chose this photo because of the arrows and how they stand out with there color.

I chose this painting because of how the waves repeat and the same color.

Rhythm is the repetition of shapes, lines, and forms.  Rhythm is a movement in which some elements recurs regularly.

Unity means that all elements in an artwork are in harmony.  Unity brings together a composition with similar units.  For example, if your composition was using wavy lines and organic shapes you would stay with those types of lines and not put in even one geometric shape.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

This photo of Oprah is unethical they had to photoshop it an order to make it
more appealing. They put her head on to someone else body.

This picture is unethical use of photoshop. It has been changed where the man was and where the gun was pointed. Altering photos of war are usually a bad idea because people always getting to thinking the worst.

40 Greatest Photos

Aaron Thompson

Justin Lane-Pool
This photo it's home for me because a couple of months before this had happened I moved from New York here.
This photo shows love, hurt and much more. This father lost his son on 9/11, this photo would be the tenth anniversary of not only the lost of his son but also the twin towns.

With in this photo it has a lot of meaning and also it shows a lot of compassion, love, and hurt.  

LOUIE 

This photo isn't about being sad. The tears the mother sheds for her daughter are tears of happy being able to finally see her own daughter from serving 7 months in Iraq.

The photos you chose to take are very unique, 

also simple is more then enough in the photos.

One thing that could be improved the more precise the photo is.

National Geographic Photo Contest

This photo would have to be my favorite because in every year only in the month October it gets really humidity and gets really fog. Also I like this photo because it gets so humid it covers most of the city. Last but not least I like the way they were able to get some of the skyline.

Something I would shoot there is a nice mid-October photo shoot either for fun or modeling.

Camera History and Camera Parts

1. Camera obscura is inside a completely dark room, a tiny hole is created in one wall. Through the hole light is focused, and the outside scene is projected (upside down) on the opposite wall.
2.  the modern camera came one step closer when Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses.
3. The parts of the first modern camera were a glass lens, a dark box, and film.
4. Light passes through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the film.
5. Cameras use digital film to capture images also  an electronic sensor called a CCD.
6. Auto - the camera will completely control flash and exposure. Program - automatic-assist, just point and shoot.
7. Portrait To attempt to blur out the background, camera will try to use the fastest available lens setting (aperture).
8. Sports To freeze motion, camera will use the highest shutter speed possible.
9. Faster camera response time, more control over focus, and encourages better composition.
10. Disabled Flash no flash. There are many cases where you may not want flash at all. The mood of the photograph can sometimes be more dramatic when the natural light is used.
11. Auto-Flash in most camera modes, Auto-flash is enabled by default and will automatically fire if the camera thinks it needs more light.
12. If it's to light the picture will be washed out.
13. Not enough light and the picture will be too dark.
14. "Stop" is a relative measurement of light, also you can say the change in the brightness of light.
15. There are now 4 new planet.
16. There are now 8 new planet.
17. Longer shutter speeds = more light
18. Shorter shutter speeds = less light
19. Before light reaches film, it must pass through the aperture.
20. Like the pupil in a human eye, the aperture on a camera controls light.
    It does so by closing up to restrict light, and opening up to let it through.
    
    
    
    
    

    Aperture- an opening, hole, or gap

    shutter- to keep light out

    exsposure- the process of allowing light reach the film

    Depth of field-the distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that give an image judge to be in focus in a camera

    F-stop-a camera setting corresponding to a particular f-number

    focal Length- the distance between the center of a lens or curved mirror and its focus

First Photos - Best and Worst

Out of all the photos this would have to be my best because it shows most of her body.

It shows she being a little shy, also the photo position isn't that bad.

I made this an okay picture because it was a little slanted.

Not like the other photo was good but this would really have to be bad not only cause it was blurry but because of the way I took it. It really doesn't have a lot of the "model".
